Game thread: New York Knicks @ Washington Wizards 7:00 10/7/2019 [Preseason Game #1]

Knox knocks down the step back 3. We lead 27 - 16 after one quarter.

Ntilikina knocks down another jumper, but doesn?t count as Taj gets called for the illegal screen.

Ellington with the beautiful stroke in a deep 3. Knicks lead 30 - 16.

MRob back in for Taj and he immediately blocks another shot. No question MRob could lead the NBA in blocked shots this season.

Sigh. Airball from Ntilikina. Pump the brakes.

Barrett way more effective attacking the hoop than he is shooting from long range.

Knicks lead 45 to 31 after the Randle driving layup.

I can?t remember the last time the Knicks had a savvy all around player like Marcus Morris.

Knicks lead 57 - 42 at the half.

Morris with 17 points and 7 boards. Randle with 11 points and 5 boards. Taj with 7 boards. Payton with 4 assists.

Spurs coach Pop is still talking bull bout Morris choosing Knicks over Spurs LMAO

Morris gonna lead the league in technical fouls this season !!!

Well, that was ridiculous. Morris gets himself ejected for going at Anderson right out of the half.

MRob with 3 blocked shots now. Wizards are starting to come back though.

Knox and Randle defense are gonna be a problem this season .. Wiz scored a quick 6 points on them

Pretty classic Fizdale here. Getting run off the court after the Morris ejection and Fizdale not at all interested in making any adjustments. Lead all the way gone and game is tied.

Wow, this replay business is already annoying as hell for us.

Oh shh here come the challenge ???

No more going to Randle on offense .. im watching Randle poor defense now i see the reason why AD wanted to get traded from the Pelicans in Jan.

I like the rule except for losing the timeout. Barret def extended his arm so it was the right call to reverse it.

I see Nits is a team leading +23. The guy still can't shoot yet he has the best +/- in a game a lot.

I feel behind when I went to do bedtime with my daughter.

Just watching the 3rd quarter on DVR now. Barrett stepped up huge in the 3rd quarter when the pressure was on. Great sign for what we can expect from him.

Same old story. His defense both on and off the ball is a game changer, but he is too poor a shooter, even when wide open, for us to expect him to keep a role in Fizdale?s rotation when DSJ is healthy.
